personal reinvention
Personal reinvention is not about becoming someone else.
It’s about returning to what fits you now.
Many people reach a point where what once worked no longer does. The role, the rhythm, the expectations, or even the identity you’ve built around your work has changed, or feels heavy, constraining, or misaligned. You sense there is more freedom, meaning, and ease possible – yet the way forward isn’t clear.
Personal reinvention begins with clarity, deepens through conscious choice, and unfolds through aligned authentic action over time.
Not rushed. Not forced. And supported through different pathways, depending on where you are on your journey. You can explore this further below.
I invite you to say “Yes” to what truly fits
Yes to what you love to do
Yes to your values and passions
Yes to connection, fulfillment, and significance
Yes to your inspiration and aspirations
Yes to being the best version of you
Yes to peace of mind, mental clarity and high energy
Yes to a healthy work-life integration
Coaching, mentoring & self-guided journeys
I support personal reinvention through different entry points, depending on where you are and what you need:
- Personal mentoring and coaching – individual and group support, combining deep listening, reflective inquiry, and experienced guidance to help you clarify what no longer fits, strengthen authentic self-leadership, and consciously shape what comes next.
- The Fearless and Free After Fifty journey – a self-guided pathway through my books and companion toolkits, with optional group and/or one-on-one guidance for those who want support, structure, or accountability alongside the material.
- Advanced personal development – guiding you through the Elite Mentorship Forum Program (with teachings of Peter Sage), a structured, six-month journey for those who feel called to deepen self-mastery, elevate their thinking, and live and lead from a more intentional, conscious place.
- Retreats and workshops – immersive experiences designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and restore your relationship with nature, clarity, and presence.
There is no “right” path – only the one that supports you best, right now.
How I work with you
Whether through mentoring, coaching, or a combined journey, my role is not to tell you what to do – but to help you hear yourself more clearly.
I offer:
- A safe, non-judgemental space to reflect and untangle what feels stuck
- Questions that open new perspectives and reconnect you with your inner authority
- Support to translate insight into grounded, realistic next steps
- Encouragement when doubt arises, and gentle challenge when you’re ready to go deeper
This is not about pushing through or “fixing” yourself.
It’s about creating enough clarity, confidence, and inner freedom to choose differently.
If you recognise yourself here…
- You feel stressed, weary, or frustrated at work – and know this can’t be the whole story
- You sense a new chapter wanting to emerge, but feel unsure how to begin
- You feel stuck in a role or environment that no longer reflects who you are
- You long to say no to constant pressure – without burning bridges or betraying yourself
Personal reinvention doesn’t require having all the answers.
It requires honesty, courage, and the right kind of support.
If you’re ready to explore what freedom, fulfilment, and meaningful work could look like for you, I’d be glad to walk alongside you.

Happy clients
“Our sessions were productive, restorative and incredibly worthwhile”
“Iris came into my life when I was going through a turbulent time. She brought a wealth of resources and practical tools to help me set goals, clarify my values, and explore avenues to navigate through life’s different situations. Our sessions were productive, restorative, and incredibly worthwhile. Iris’s ability to connect is why I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“I now spend a lot more time “to have fun”, so I have enough energy to concentrate on what truly matters during the day.”
“Iris and I had some wonderful coaching conversations. We talked about work objectives and things I felt I needed to perform. Iris made sure I had enough eye for “fun & flow” and a decent balance between work and time to relax and have fun. I now have enough energy to concentrate on the important things that matter, and I spend a lot more time “to have fun” :-).”

PERSONAL COACHING & MENTORING
Become fully present and more energized
Sometimes life is hectic. You might feel the need to keep running and to accept an exhausting work life that isn’t true to yourself.
Let’s stop and take a moment together to connect with your inner self, to see if what you’re running towards is what actually matters, to set and maintain healthy boundaries and to increase your energy.
Develop self-awareness, self-love, and confidence
Resourcefulness is needed to come up with a different result. Understanding what causes your emotions and stress as well as your strengths and superpowers is the first step in achieving this.
I work with you to develop positive, empowering self-talk and to become more conscious of, and confident about your values, needs, talents, and skills.
Challenge limiting beliefs and shift your mindset
Has your mind been on your side or against you? Thought patterns have a bigger impact than you might think. We will challenge your thoughts and beliefs during our sessions and question them if necessary.
Clarify your purpose and your passions
What gives your life direction and significance? What motivates you and what do you hope to achieve?
Together, we’ll look closely at what you enjoy doing, what you think the world needs, what you could get paid for, and what talents, gifts, and skills you already have or could develop to make your life more joyful and meaningful.
Set clear goals and devise systems to meet them
It’s time to act once you’ve determined what is important to you! Let me assist you in setting goals, developing a plan, and selecting the resources and frameworks that will help you achieve them.
Receive accountability support to make your dreams come true
Life happens. And you can have a hard time setting priorities that will best serve you, your goals, and your time.
When you need someone to keep you accountable and to remind you of your goals and dreams, I’ll be here.
